Setting Preview's default font color/size

[sporkme]

Hi All,

This one drives me nuts... I have some PDF forms that I regularly need to fill out. Since they aren't "real" PDF forms and the document is locked, I need to print to PDF, save as TIFF and then use Preview's annotate feature to mark things up. It works well, but the default font color (red) and default font size (36) are not optimal. And each time I start a new annotation, I need to change back to black and a smaller font size.

Is there any way to alter this default?

I got as far as "defaults read com.apple.preview", saw nothing that jumped out at me and gave up. Sorry ;-)

Lots of interesting stuff in there though, even some tantalizing bits about the color picker...

This sums it up:


"com.apple.Preview" = (
